Heat the oven to 200C and cook the macaroni 2 minutes short of al dente. Drain.
Cook the chopped bacon and diced onion in a dry saucepan until the bacon crisps, then set aside.
Melt the butter in the same pan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk.
Cook until thickened, then stir in three quarters of the cheese and season well.
Fold through the pasta and bacon, tip into a dish, top with the remaining cheese, and bake for 20 minutes.
